Sensational Spider-man #28 - Marvel

All the Spider-man books this month will probably be dealing with his coming out. This one deals with the fact that he's a teacher. He has a student, Jordan, who looks up to him. Not unlike himself at that age, a 98 lb. weekling / science nerd. Peter is the teacher that makes school interesting. Well he finds out, on TV, about the story. And, on his way to school, has all the obvious questions running through his head. And of course, being a teenager, his biggest question is "How is this gonna affect me?". Well he learns how it's going to affect him, because when he get to school, Peter and Doc Ock are out front duking it out. But Jordan comes to his aid, basically by distracting Doc with a series of questions. Of course Peter wins, and Jordan realizes that no matter what else he's still Mr. Parker. This is one of the things I love about this series. The characters just suck you in. The character developement on all the Spider-man books is just incredible. I attribute it to the fact that his supporting cast of characters are all so believable. Plus they all have their own unique personality. Clayton Crain, from Ghost Rider fame, does the art on this issue, and it is phenomonal. This book is the perfect example of why Spider-man is one of the greatest characters of all time. Love the guy!!
